\n" ); document.write( " Find the cost and selling price.
\n" ); document.write( " Round amounts to the nearest cent and percents to the nearest tenth of a percent.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let c = the cost of item
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "c + 9.75 = selling price
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "1.253c = selling price also
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "1.253c = c + 9.75
\n" ); document.write( "1.253c - c = 9.75
\n" ); document.write( ".253c = 9.75
\n" ); document.write( "c = 9.75/.253
\n" ); document.write( "c = $38.54 is the cost
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "38.54 + 9.75 = $48.29 is the selling price \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
